AT Macon Friday an old negro named
Simon was walking down Cantonment street.
East Macon, when he was suddenly stricken
with paralysis, and staggered 10 the arch
over a sewer we'll and sat down. A little
boy came along, and the old man becloned
TO him for assistance. The boy went to him
and the old man took hold of him and tried
to rise. He had lost the power of speech,
and could utter nothing but sort of harsh
bark like dog. This so frightened the boy
that he broke away and ran for life. Old
Simon then fell backwards and went down
into the sewer head foremost An excited
crowd quickly collected and a man reached
down into the sewer and caught the old fell
low by the foot and after much trouble
drew him up. Physicians were called and
two responded. He was removed to his
home few blocks away and put to bed.
